5.0 out of 5 stars Great Business Investment!, March 28, 2002

This review is from: Starting Your Secret Shopping Business (Paperback)

'Starting Your Secret Shopping Business' was a great investment. Although I already had some experience with mystery shopping, Judith Rappold's manual saved me so much time and energy in terms of planning and outlining my business and marketing strategies.
I was initially very nervous about the monetary investment for a document not directly in front of me to review and evaluate. But after careful consideration, I went for it! It was well worth it!! There was even more information than I had expected. I can't stress enough the time savings. It allowed me to put my time and focus in other areas. In a nutshell, 'Starting Your Secret Shopping Business' allows you to get closer to the ACTION phases of business!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Your Business, February 13, 2002

This review is from: Starting Your Secret Shopping Business (Paperback)

I have been using this book in the development and building of my Secret Shopping business for the last three years. I keep it handy to use for reference when I get stumped on something. The book covers all the basics from getting set up to the preparation and tracking of shoppers to a billing system, to pricing and publicity. It gives you solid examples to start from and use until you feel comfortable to add your own personality to your business. The variety of basic forms for evaluations have been of great value to me. Many of the forms can be used in a variety of situations and evaluations, saving me many hours of trying to develop something. I find one form, in particular, is widely used by my clients in a variety of businesses. I would have a hard time running my business without this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This start-up manual has been very valuable!, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Starting Your Secret Shopping Business (Paperback)

I have been able to use the materials in the manual as a reference guide. I fine-tune the wording and content based on my business opportunity. This manual has certainly saved me many hours which add to up saved dollars. I started my business in 1996 and have many contracts. I have to believe I would not be this far along without the start-up manual. This tool has helped make me successful.
